Gathoni Wamuchomba is full of emotion as she narrates how she gave birth to her firstborn baby inside the toilet of a high-end private hospital in Nairobi in 2003.
"I was put in a private room when I reported to the hospital. I was injected with medicine to induce labour on three different occasions," she narrated to The Standard during an interview. "I had a team of nurses assigned to watch over me. I was in the labour ward waiting to be taken into the delivery room."
She says that at some point, she felt the need to relieve herself in the toilet.
